PREFACE. 


These  tests,  undertaken  without  any  view  to  publication, 
may  be  found  deficient  in  some  points  ;*  but  may  be  depended 
on  as  correct,  as  far  as  they  go. 

They  give  a  representation  of  the  power  required  by  cottou- 
machinery,  as  actually  in  use,  under  various  circumstances,  in  a 
large  number  of  mills:  some  of  it  new,  and  in  the  best  run¬ 
ning  order ;  some  of  it  very  old,  and  tested  with  a  view  to 
ascertain  how  much  power  was  lost  by  using  it.  Part  of  the 
tests  have  been  made  to  ascertain  the  variations  due  to  weather, 
oil,  and  banding;  but  the  writer  believes  that  the  notes  will 
explain  sufficiently  these  different  points,  and  trusts  that  the 
information  contained,  as  to  the  average  power  actually  used, 
will  be  of  sufficient  value  to  manufacturers  to  justify  their 
publication.
